The place was as described and neat and tidy. There were a few things that were missing such as a complete set of linens for the pullout bed, but overall it was a great stay!
We came to Philly for the World Cup and this property was great for a long stay. Akia was extremely communicative, accessible, and accommodating. The proximity to public transportation (trolley and bus) is fantastic. The neighborhood has some great food, cafes, and in a good location to reach other attractions. It was spacious enough for two people without feeling crowded. We also felt safe and secure, the auto deadbolt locks (entrance and unit doors) were great and there was no worries about having to deal with keys. The kitchen was fully equipped from pots, pans, utensils, to a full spice rack. I am very familiar with Philly so this property fit all the needs and demands. It is a great fit for experienced travelers!
I enjoyed my stay on Akia's property--she went above and beyond to respond immediately to my issues and questions. When the batteries were dead in the outside lock keypad, she let us in remotely, and someone came to fix it within 5 minutes. Everything smelled fresh and clean, and I felt safe and comfortable. I recommend this property and this host, and I will be booking this property again.
The apartment was nice and clean, looks exactly like the pictures in the listing. The pullout couch was surprisingly comfortable. The venue downstairs could be loud during events but the host kept us updated. The host responded quickly and was very helpful whenever we had questions. Great stay overall!

Property owner was delightful and went above and beyond to make our stay nice. We were in Philly to see our daughter graduate from college and there was a mix up on which property we rented, but property owner corrected.
Everything about this apartment and host was great. The apartment had everything needed. It was clean, quiet, stocked well, comfortable bed and seating, and secure inside with 2 independent deadbolts. Communication of host was quick and helpful with anything we needed. The only downfall, and nothing against the host, the area of town did leave us with an us-easy feeling for coming and going and leaving our vehicle on the street. The neighborhood, though the people were nice that we talked to, there were some "sketchy" "characters" on the trash covered area. Akia was wonderful but unfortunately, we would have to reconsider staying there again, only due to the location.
We were very impressed with the appartment itself. Very clean. Additionally, my husband and I felt very safe behind two locked doors. However, climbing the stairs was a bit tough and the trash floating through
the street was adisheartenening
The room itself was perfect. Nice TV/couch, a good size kitchen, clean restroom and shower, and a comfortable bed. The neighborhood was nice enough during the day but after all the businesses closed, the street became a little sketchy. Not the fault of the host at all, but definitely something to be aware of.

My friend and I stayed here for two nights and were very satisfied with the experience. There is one bedroom and a pull-out couch which was very comfortable for an adult! There is a key rig with pods provided. The apartment is on the smaller side, but it felt cozy and was definitely comfortable for two adults. Our host was very helpful and communicative. I had some confusion with the front door code and she got back to me right away to help.
I would recommend taking Uber to-from, but it's a very short ride--only 10 min from the train station and 15-20 min (including traffic) to Independence Hall/Liberty Bell!

Checking in/out was super easy.
The owner was super helpful & responsive .
Street parking was available right out front of this unit and free for the overnight ,which was fantastic. Fyi...Parking meters start running at 8am.
There are always police officers around, so we felt safe.
The Owner provided complimentary travel sized toiletries: toothpaste, Toothbrushes, mouthwash, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toilet paper, roll towels, garbage bags and even snacks (popcorn, various candy, bottled water)--- this was so convenient and much appreciated.
When i booked our reservation, i informed the owner that my husband and I were staying in town to celebrate our wedding anniversary and when we arrived , we found a beautiful anniversary card and balloons, which was totally unexpected, but extremely thoughtful.
We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this unit for anyone looking to visit philly's major attractions, which are just mins away.
Property was as advertised. Clean with nice appliances. Owner was kind and communicative. Would highly recommend, especially for short stay in the city. Good location close to downtown Philadelphia as well as surrounding Universities.
I can't say enough about this property and the host. We stayed due to a family member who was at U Penn Hospital. The host communication was outstanding. Quick response and helpful beyond belief.
The property was cozy but beautiful. I had no fear in the neighborhood... Infact the neighbors I did encounter were nothing but nice and friendly. Can't go wrong here.
